INTRODUCTION Over the past few years, the world’s population has
continued on its remarkable transition path from a state of high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates coupled with improvement in health services & standard of living.
At the heart of this transition has been the growth in the number and proportion of older persons.
Such a rapid, large and ubiquitous growth has never been seen in the history of civilization.
The current demographic revolution is predicted to continue well into the coming centuries.
